HEY YOU. It's time to learn Japanese and move to Japan.
7-Step Guide to move to Japan
1.) Start learning japanese. Doing so is not actually hard a.) Download Anki: ankiweb.net/ b.) Download the 6,000 core deck for japanese: djtguide.neocities.org/anki.html and follow the instructions to install it c.) Set up your anki deck for 20 words a day, and up to 9999 reviews a day (you won't actually see 9999 reviews a day). this way you can learn all 6,000 words in under a year. d.) Join any of the countless japanese language learning generals on Sup Forums (beginner) (intermediate) (anime trash) pick which best suits your needs
3.) Finish tae kim's grammar guide and all 6,000 words by September.
4.) It's time to choose which JLPT you're taking. If you took japanese seriously and started TODAY from THIS VERY POST, you could be N3 ready by October. Check the registration deadlines.
5.) Take the JLPT you useless sack of shit. N5 if you didn't study at all i mean what the fuck, N4 if you're a slowpoke, N3 means you actually studied. Good, N3 means you're on your way to Japan
6.) Pass the JLPT. If you took the N3, you will be able to get yourself N1 ready by next year by studying at the same pace you are now. Since your 6,000 core deck is settled, grab a 10k core deck. You will start practicing actually writing the kanji from here on out, so grab something like 'Remembering the Kanji' since you'll probably need it by now. If you didn't take the N3, you should aim for the N2 next year. That's right, you're skipping the N3 you didn't take. Up your study, bitch.
7.) With a bachelor's degree and N1, you can now move to Japan. Congrats. Post-graduate study is best method to do so

>66% of japan is going to die in 30 years >"we're full"
you know the japanese immigration system is designed such that you are converted into an indeal immigrant for japan, right? people immigrating have to conform the way its set up right now.
this is the ideal form of immigration.
Julian Morris
Do foreigners in Japan do anything else besides work as English teacher monkeys? I'm graduating university next year and plan to go into technical writing or programming.

Good thread. Sup Forums is a Japanese/otaku culture website, reinvigorating Sup Forums is a good idea.

Hey i would love to, but I’m just too fucking lazy. Also kids... i just don’t have the time for all that. >i would love to >maybe I wouldn’t “love to” after all I do love japan. But I’d rather never go, than go unprepared. So I’ll just admire from afar...

Why yes they get treated like shit by the locals in their spare time.
Deservedly.

Aren't you busy inviting brown people into your country, Sven? Why are you trying do get the Gaijin to fuck up the Nips too?

Wow, something that's actually productive on Sup Forums
Is this the beginning of the new crusades
Kevin Collins

Nicholas Reyes
Yeah, do all that but also apply for the JET program. I did. I lived 10 years in Japan, married a Japanese, and I passed the N1. Oh, I also went to Keio University, Japan's #2 or #3 Univ. And I know almost nothing about anime or manga. When you get hit on by Chix who speak engrish, just FORGET IT --they'll only use you as a free engrish teachya and hold you back.
Tyler Roberts
Also >learning Japanese for anything besides reading porn
Adam Ross
How well does JET pay? My girlfriend and I are interested in living in Japan for a few years.
Adam Reed
Japan is a dying culture. Why not learn Spanish or Chinese or Arabic?
Also Japanese are xenophobic and you will never get citizenship there.
Jayden Cook
>66% dies >still 40 million people in a country smaller than australia
Parker Gutierrez
dude let them have their country. Stop trying to take away other people's hard work and make your own shit.
William Fisher
Wanna say thanks for this thread. I've actually be really interested in learning Japanese and this is a great resource. Domo, user-kun.
Hudson Cook
How do i move to korea aka goodJapan?
Nolan Walker
You're either gonna have to deal with sex pats, koreans or nigs eventually
Adam Reyes
>never learn Mandarin, a cautionary tale by user
Spanish is morons language. You're never going to accomplish anything by learning it apart from how to tell warehouse workers not to stand.
Brody Russell
get out of brazil then you fucking subhumans
Thomas Walker
You get to chose to work for the "Ken" (Prefecture) which means high-school or the city, which means middle school. High school pays a bit better but the housing subsidy for the middle-school teachers was a little better. Now you might get about $2,800 per month, so you're not rich by any means. In Japan that does not go super far. But maybe 70% of my rent was already paid for and I did get a commuting allowance. As long as you don't go clubbing all the time or always buy steak I think you'll be okay. It's good if you know a little Japanese before you go and bring some gifts from your home country. For me that meant bringing tons of nuts, which are expensive there. I learned tons. Say sorry and thank you 1,000% more than your home country. Talk others up and talk your own sh*t down; "You're so amazing and I'm a little turd" --you get the idea.

Jason Cooper
>Swede >Obsessed with non whites >Would rather flee than fight for his home Everything checks out. Now all you have to do is kill yourself like an honorary Jap. Fucking piece of shit.
Parker Bell
Thanks for the info. What city did you work in? I've heard Tokyo and the other big cities are expensive as hell. I want to bring my girlfriend with me, but I've been wondering if it'd even be possible to support us both. (She dropped out of college, so I'm assuming she can't do English teaching.)
Matthew Bailey
JET Is the absolute last resort
If you pick JET, the chance is more likely than not you are an unproductive piece of shit
JET has a bad reputation, known for attracting autism. It's your absolute last resort, unless you actually enjoy teaching
Elijah Ross
After acquiring N2, here is your priorities from highest priotity to last resort
Highest Priority: >>Student Visa
Jeremiah Young
I was living in very southern Ibaraki, almost Chiba. So I was close enough to go into Tokyo by train (about 60 min) but living was sorta cheap. I HEARD that it's unlucky to request Tokyo --they think you'll just be a partier. Ummm...if you requested Chiba or Saitama you'll be close enough to go to discos, or whatever. But even the countryside has lots to offer. One thing I liked about Tokyo (where I later lived, when I was out of JET) was that your honky face doesn't look so weird so you don't get quite the same level of staring. Like I said, if you reallllly wanna learn Japanese do your best to pass up the many Eigo-chans (chix who wanna just use you for free tutoring). Your GF would probably be able to pick up "privates" --that means she teaches engrish at a cafe with people she mets or people to whom she gave a simple flier that she cooked up. My GF lived with me off the books, even though it was technically forbidden. To keep gossip to a minimum we only walked together/held hands etc when we were a certain distance from home. // Your salary prooooobably wouldn't suffice for the two of you, she'd have to work a bit on her own and her visa would likely by just for 3 months. Each 3 months or so she'd have to pop over to Seoul for a weekend to renew her tourist visa into Japan. But there are SOME schools (not many) that do employ honkies who have no degree. Sorry, but it really does help to be physically attractive and "look the part". (extra points for tall, blonde, good skin, smiley). Oh yeah, it's really hard to over-dress in Japan (tie, etc).
Carson Gutierrez
I would also check out the Mombusho GakuShou program --Ministry of Education Scholarship Program. They pay your rent and your tuition for a year or two, pay your airplane ticket and they even give you a monthly allowance or something. Also special introductions to important people in Japan, though I think they only do that 4 or so times for each. At Keio I met a bunch of people on that fantastic program. You call your nearest Embassy or Consulate and they'll send you the info booklet and application. You'd be nuts not to apply.
Aaron Peterson
I would do JET because it seems like the most structured way to get my barely qualified ass to Japan but I'm not an autist and I don't want people to hate me for being an eigo monkey. What else can I do that isn't programming
Michael Garcia
You could also work for one of the big chain schools - they even do interviewing in big cities outside of Japan; SF, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philly, DC, many others. Also London and all those. The big one used to be Nova but it died. Now I think it's Geos, and there are two other big chains. You should be under 25, have a college degree, have no visible tattoos (when in a suit), have good skin and no dyed hair. You should be smiley, speak clearly and have no criminal record. Your essay should be in good Engrish and portray energy and enthusiasm. I think you should not display vastly more complete knowledge of Japan than your interviewer.
Evan Hernandez
Awesome, thanks for all the tips.
Benjamin Torres
I can't wait till there are 3rd generation pagan European gangs speaking Latin with woad tattoos in the ghettos of japan
Tyler Jenkins
I couldn't move to japan even if I wanted to because I'm a gook so instead of thinking I'm a foreigner they would just think I'm a retard with bad manners or just be plain racist if they find out I'm korean.
James Richardson
Is there any way to add these decks to my phone? I already downloaded the Anki Droid app.

>Is there any way to add these decks to my phone? I already downloaded the Anki Droid app. yes
there should be words associated with those 'Again/Bad' 'Good' 'Easy'
it's asking you how well you remembered the word. Be honest with it. Never lie to anki

I always read Anki as aniki and then I feel like billy harrington is teaching me

Just because your country is a shithole doesn't mean you have to fuck up other nations.
Robert Long
Yeah, sure. It's not like invading other countries is what America is built on.

Face it, WMAF is the equivalent of BMWF. Both bring out the worse in white people. Coalburners and neckbeards willing to lose their virginity to some flat faced 3/10 FOB chink who can't speak english.

Don't fool youreself, italians were coming here at the time too, the government and economy were pretty stable and we had a tiny population compared to our country's size. We needed manpower, they needed jobs. I see asians pretty often, considering i live in a moderately rich neighborhood.They are by far the most sucessful ethnic group in the country, it's almost impossible to find a poor japanese family. São Paulo is fucking huge tho, you can find pretty much anything there if you look hard enough
Lincoln Phillips
They thought they'd be rich working in the plantations and that they'd have enough money to go back to Japan after they were done.
